Serralves House

Serralves Foundation is a European cultural institution driven by the goal of making the public aware of contemporary art. Serralves Contemporary Art Museum, which was redesigned by architect Siza Vieira, is the main multi-disciplinary cultural centre in the north of the country. It is a unique building, as far as architectural sobriety and natural environment are concerned, as well as the cornerstone of Serralves Foundation. Attached to the museum, you will find Serralves Park, a true natural refuge at the heart of city of Porto, covering an 18ha area that includes beautiful gardens, pastures, woods and a lake. At the park entry, there are teahouses, a cafeteria/restaurant with a terrace, where you can have lunch or dinner.
